Several Anti-Gun
Bills Scheduled for a Final Vote in
Chamber of Origin and More to be Heard in
Committee

Your state Legislators
must hear your OPPOSITION of
these anti-gun bills TODAY

The assault on
our Second Amendment rights continues with
anti-gun bills moving through the California
Legislature. Unfortunately, there are
several anti-gun bills that have been
scheduled to be considered on the state
Senate and Assembly floor with more
anti-guns bills scheduled to be heard in
their respective state Senate and Assembly
committee. Please
call and e-mail your state Senator and
Assemblyman, along with members of the
respective state Senate and Assembly
committee urging them to OPPOSE the
anti-gun measures below.

The
following three anti-gun Senate bills are
currently scheduled for a vote on the Senate
floor and could be brought up for that vote
as early as Monday, May 6. Please contact
your state Senator and respectfully urge him
or her to OPPOSE these anti-gun bills.
Contact information for your state Senator
can be found here.

Senate Bill 108(Yee)requires
mandatory locked storage of firearms within
a locked house regardless of whether anyone
is present.

Senate Bill 299(DeSaulnier)turns
victims of firearm theft into criminals for
failing to report the loss of their firearm
within 48 hours.

Senate Bill 475(Leno)requires
the prior approval of the board of
supervisors of both the County of San Mateo
and the City and County of San Francisco to
allow a gun show at the Cow Palace. This
bill would allow the local anti-gun
politicians to BAN the gun show.

The
anti-gun Assembly bill below is currently
scheduled for a vote on the Assembly floor
and could be brought up as early as Monday,
May 6. Please contact your Assemblyman and
respectfully urge him or her to OPPOSE these
anti-gun bills. Contact information for
your Assemblyman can be found here.

Assembly Bill 169(Dickinson)BANSthe
sale of handguns not on the state-approved
roster. This bill is so flawed that the
provisions will BAN the sale of millions of
old and used handguns CURRENTLY owned by
Californians by dealers and PRIVATE PARTY
transfers.

The
following six anti-gun Senate bills will be
heard in the state Senate Appropriations
Committee on Monday, May 6. Contact
information for members of the stateSenate Appropriations
Committeecan
be foundhere.

Senate Bill 47(Yee)expands
the definition of “assault weapons” to BAN
the future sale of rifles that have been
designed/sold and are equipped to use the
“bullet button” or similar device, requires
NEW “assault weapon” registration of ALL
those semi-auto rifles that are currently
possessed to retain legal possession in the
future, and subjects these firearms to all
other “assault weapons” restrictions.

Senate Bill 53(DeLeon)requires
persons to buy an annual ammunition purchase
permit, requires the registration and
thumbprint of the purchaser for each
ammunition purchase, and bans online and
mail order sales of ammunition to
Californians.

Senate Bill 374(Steinberg)expands
the definition of "assault weapons" to BAN
the future transfer of all semi-auto rifles
that accept detachable magazines (including
those chambered for rimfire cartridges) and
virtually all semi-auto rifles with fixed
magazines (primarily those chambered for
rimfire cartridges), requires NEW "assault
weapon" registration, requires registration
of ALL those semi-auto rifles that are
currently possessed to retain legal
possession in the future, and subjects these
firearms to all other "assault weapon"
restrictions.

Senate Bill 396(Hancock)BANSthe POSSESSION of
any magazine with a capacity to accept more
than ten cartridges, including currently
legally possessed "grandfathered large
capacity” magazines.

Senate Bill 567(Jackson)expands
the definition of shotgun for
“short-barreled shotguns” that are illegal
to own. The current definition in the
proposed law is so flawed it can include
reclassify handguns shooting "Shot-shells"
as shotguns.

Senate Bill 755(Wolk)expands
the list of persons prohibited from owning a
firearm, including persons who have operated
cars and boats while they are impaired
commonly referred to as DUI.

The
anti-gun Assembly bill below is scheduled to
be heard in the Assembly Public Safety
Committee on Wednesday, May 8. Contact
information for the Assembly Appropriations
Committeecan
be foundhere.

Assembly Bill 711(Rendon) BANS the
use of all lead ammunition for hunting.
For more information about AB 711, click here.

Unfortunately,
on May 1, Governor Brown signed Senate Bill 140
into law. SB 140 steals from
law-abiding gun owners by raiding $24
million from the Dealers' Record of Sale
(DROS) Special Account to fund the
Department of Justice's backlog in the
Armed Prohibited Persons System (APPS).
The DROS Account is the collection of
money from firearm purchasers that pays
for the administrative process for
background checks and registration.
Unfortunately, with the DROS account
having a surplus of funds, the California
Department of Justice (DOJ) uses it like
their own personal piggy bank and raids it
whenever they feel like it.

The NRA
initiated litigation last year on the
Department of Justice continuing to charge
excess DROS fees on EVERY firearms purchase
and is in the discovery process for
evidence. This fight over the continued
misuse of DROS is NOT over and will continue
in court.

You can write your
representative hereurging
them to OPPOSE the anti-gun bills listed
above. Please feel free to also copy
and paste all the bill information to ensure
your state legislators know which bills to
OPPOSE.

Welcome new members and congratulations for caring enough to be a responsible citizen.

The great thing about the Ron Paul campaign is that it's not about Ron Paul, it's about people who care enough to take responsibility for their country instead of leaving it all up to the 'elites' who presume so much on our behalf.

This is about ending the war, withdrawing from empire status, and renewing the liberty which is the environment in which people can grow to become their best and again be a light for the rest of the world. Imagine that!

It is recommended that you join other Bay Area Ron Paul meetup groups as well and keep an eye on the events calendar for events supporting candidate who support the Constitution. Bring interested people to the meetups so they can become educated about our freedoms.
